大阪 – Osaka

In the fall and winter of 1945, members of the United States Strategic Bombing Survey conducted hundreds of interviews with air raid survivors in many Japanese cities.  Over the coming years we hope to digitize all extant audiotapes of the interviews, held at the U.S. National Archives in College Park, Maryland.
